# Signing Transactions & Messages

## Module Overview

Within Truffle, you will need to authorize both transactions and signature requests in order to deploy your NFT projects. This module explains what each of these are.

### Signature Request:

A signature request is a request for your approval and is not a transaction. Which means there is no fee required. Looking at the request below:

   2. You can see it won’t trigger any fees

### Transaction Request

A transaction request is a request which will require a network fee and will show changes in your wallet once the transaction is completed.
